[Electronics-Talk] [EXTERNAL] new stove help, thnks & update

[Ray Foret Jr]

Well, were I a home owner, I'd want such a plan because it seems to me that if you get the right plan, it should work out pretty well.  For example, if some sighted guy across the street convinces you that you need a new stove, and the plan representitive comes in and takes a look and finds out that the repair bill is going to be much less than a new unit, I'd rather have that happen than trust the sighted guy across the street who just pretends he knows what he's doing.  Don't tell me that doesn't happn because I'm sure it does.
